Cattrall was born in Liverpool before her family migrated to Canada when she was a baby. The actress still has close ties to the city and recently urged the council to re-think its plans to replace the former Futurist Cinema with new shops and apartments.

She tweeted: “What next? Stop! Stop destroying our city’s history.”

She later added: “Renovate AND regenerate. Architecture and its preservation preserve the history, uniqueness and beauty of any city.”
